This dissertation theorizes a fourfold interpretative model through examining a major ethnic minority document from southwest China—Chronicles of Southwest Yi (Xinan Yi zhi, hereafter as The Chronicles). As a key text in understanding Yi written tradition from western Guizhou province, the document is difficult to access due to a decline in the number of native transmitters, the lack of a theoretical toolkit to unlock the content of the text, and prejudice against oral-connected texts written in unfamiliar genres on the part of some scholars. Building upon past Yi scholarship, genre theories, and epic studies, this project offers doable approaches to deciphering what is intended by the multiple generations of tradition-bears: 1) treating the translated volumes as a corpus to study the language thoroughly, 2) connecting the verses with information that can help uninitiated readers appreciate the artistry of the text, 3) taking into account consensuses reached by modern-day scholars to situate the text in its textual network, and 4) keeping track of afterlives and ramifications of traditional lore and voicing opportunities opened up by contemporary media. Besides methodological innovations, the dissertation also testifies The Chronicles as an encyclopedic compendium and reliable cultural-historical records. |
